[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hoping for an update from OP when this trip takes place![/quote]

OP here.  The trip is next week.  current status:  after DC spit out the chicken nuggets, the next night we tried grilled cheese on gluten free bread which was a battle royale.  As predicted, DH resisted owning up to this situation (his family dynamic is mom slips crazy stuff by people and no one makes waves) and instead yelled at the 4 year old for not eating it.  He was really miffed at me for pushing him on this (again, he didn't want to make waves and I forced the issue), but he finally conceded that 5 days of DC not eating much would not go well, and he called his mom.  I still do not know what the rules of the road are, but she called me to ask what brand of bread they like, so at a minimum we have pb&j as a backup, which is enough to get us through it.[/quote]

I like you, Op.
You were proactive.
You made the attempt in good faith.
You did it in front of DH thereby making him aware and now part of the problem and solution
DH had to man up and deal, most likely knowing you weren't going to do it for him
And your MIL called YOU and waved the white flag

Well done.[/quote]
